Performing a full restore from manifest for a physical machine

vRanger offers the ability to restore a savepoint after it has been moved from a repository. This feature allows for greater flexibility when restoring a file or server after it has been moved to long-term tape backups. You may also use the Restore from Manifest feature to restore a server after transporting the savepoint to a secondary location.

Each savepoint contains a manifest file that can be used to restore the savepoint without access to the vRanger database. If the vRanger machine is lost, you may install a fresh installation of vRanger, and restore savepoints using this manifest file.

To perform a full restore from a manifest for a physical machine, complete the following tasks:

Creating the boot media

To restore a savepoint to a physical machine, you must first boot the target server into the vRanger restore environment using the vRanger Restore images — ISO for CD, IMG for a bootable USB drive. You can download the restore image files — vzRestore-<version>.iso and vzRestore-<version>.img — from the Quest website.

This task is a procedure in Performing a full restore from manifest for a physical machine.

To create the boot media, complete one of the following procedures:

Creating a bootable CD

Complete the steps in the following procedure to create a bootable CD.

IMPORTANT: The procedures for creating a bootable CD differ widely depending on the operating system and software used.

To create a bootable CD:
2
Download the vzRestore-<version>.img file from http://quest.com/products/vranger/.
3
If necessary, copy the vzRestore-<version>.iso file to the machine with the writable CD/DVD drive.
4
Right-click the ISO file, select Open with, and then click Windows Disk Image Burner.
6
Click Burn.
Creating a bootable USB drive

Complete the steps in the following procedure to create a bootable USB drive.
